Question

There were 88 vendors at the craft fair. They needed to set up an equal number in each of the rows and needed 4 flags to mark each row. How many rows and flags were needed?

Answer 1

Answer:

22 rows and 22 flags are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of vendors = 88

Existing number of rows and flags= 4

Number of rows and flags needed= 88/4 =22

Answer 2

Answer:

4rows and 16flags

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there were 88 vendors at the craft fair and 4flags on each rows. To set up equal number of vendors on each row, we will use the expression;

Number of vendors per row = Total number of vendors/total number of flags per row = 88/4 = 22 vendors

If there are 22 vendors in a rows and there are 88vendors in total, the total of rows will be;

Total number of vendors/number of vendors per row

= 88/22

= 4 rows

If there are four rows in total and 4flags in each row, the total of flags needed will be;

Total number of row × total flag per row

= 4×4

= 16flags

This shows that there are 4rows and 16flags were needed.
